The Complete iOS 8 + Swift Developers Course

Many of us are looking forward to the new features of iOS 8, but some of the biggest improvements are under the hood — the lean new programming language of Swift being a prime example. So now’s a pretty good time to get into app development, and The Complete iOS 8 + Swift Developers Course is well equipped to teach you the new technologies, plus it currently has 92% off (pre-order).

It’s pretty big, I should point out (in total, 350 videos and 36.5 hours of content) but that’s partly because it starts with the basics, making no assumption of previous coding knowledge. The course then provides an in-depth tour of the fundamentals — Swift, XCode, CloudKit and Storyboard, along with an intro to the Metal Framework — and other useful stuff, such as API integration, responsive design and in-app analytics. Just as importantly, though, you learn all of this by following along with 14 app builds, the last of which is a complete clone of Tinder.

Due to Apple’s NDA, the course won’t be released until iOS 8 is, but you can pre-order now via the link to get 92% off the asking price (plus you get the predecessor, The Complete iOS 7 Course, thrown in free)…
